Welcoming our new CEO
Divine Renovation is grateful to welcome Brett Powell as our new Chief Executive Officer.

We are deeply thankful for that spiritual support.
Building for the Future: A Story from Ireland
The pastor of the dual parishes of Greystones and Kilquade, Fr. John is a busy man. Located just outside of Dublin, he ministers in an environment of rampant secularization and to many who view their faith as cultural rather than personal.
Last year, over a thousand children came through baptism, first communion, and confirmation; yet over 90% don’t attend after they receive the sacraments.
A Song to Sing: A Story of Priesthood Renewal in the USA
As a child, Father Paddy O’Donovan wanted to be either a performer, a politician… or a priest.
His humour, charm, and conversational agility make it clear he could have been all 3. But behind the warmth is a spiritual depth and a profound love for people. Quoting Father Hans Urs Von Balthasar, he states he ultimately chose theodrama, than that of the ego. And a reflection on his years in ministry demonstrate how God is using him to tell His story.
This month he celebrates 50 years of ordination.
